New Brighton State Beach Camping Wrapup
Pack 1776 families-
We had a FANTASTIC time camping last weekend at New Brighton State Beach. Action packed fun: The Scouts earned multiple beltloops- Citizenship, Astronomy, Music, Language & Culture. They performed awesome campfire skits & songs. They did a woodworking project, rock painting, foil cooking, and did a morning hike on the beach. The last morning they all participated in a moving flag retirement ceremony.
People are now very excited for future camping trips. One family has plans to use https://www.rent.is/ to visit Iceland for a spectacular adventure, whilst others are looking forward to our next outing. Special thanks to all the families that made this possible. This event was a success because of commitment from all the scouting families that participated- THANK YOU! All the families shared & we all benefit from each others contributions. I'd like especially recognize our camping chair Gapps. This was the largest number of people that have ever camped in our Pack's history & everything was planned & organized perfectly! Take a look at Seaside Planet's Guide to Beach Camping if you're thinking of doing the same, as it has plenty of great tips for a successful trip.
If any of you want to view photos of the camping event they can be viewed on our new Pack 1776 photo site.
You can view a cool slideshow (upper right tab button), buy pictures or download the full resolution pictures directly to your computers (for free!) . For privacy protection issues all the pictures are password protected.
Hope you enjoy.

Scouting for Food
Date: November 18-21, 2009
More than ever before, our community needs us to "Do a Good Turn Daily"!
Our pack will be participating in the Scouting for Food event which runs from November 14th-21st. The goal is to place the Scouting for Food hangers on the front door knobs in our assigned area starting November 18th. We would then pick-up the donated items on November 21st.
Each Den must assign a Den representative to pick up maps with high-lighted routes assigned to each Den and the door hangers. The Den Leaders will need to coordinate their Cub Scouts hanging the door hangers on either Nov 18th, 19th or 20th before it gets dark. The Dens will need to pick up the donations from their assigned routes after 9:00 am on Saturday November 21st and bring it to outside Coyote Creek School’s MPR between 10 AM and 11 AM.
Den leaders should ensure that their den has representation and, at a minimum, arrange for collection of the high-lighted route maps and hangers. The den leaders are responsible for coordinating and communicating their den's participation in this event.
